ABSTRACT
Professional sleep societies have identified a need for strategic research in multiple areas that may benefit from access to and aggregation of large, multidimensional datasets. Technological advances provide opportunities to extract and analyze physiological signals and other biomedical information from datasets of unprecedented size,… (More)

OBJECTIVES
Obstructive respiratory events often terminate with an associated respiratory-related leg movement (RRLM). Such leg movements are not scored as periodic leg movements (periodic limb movements during sleep, PLMS), although the criteria for distinguishing RRLM from PLMS differ between the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) and the World… (More)

BACKGROUND
Motivational enhancement (ME) shows promise as a means of increasing adherence to CPAP for OSA.
METHODS
We performed an open-label, parallel-arm, randomized controlled trial of CPAP only or CPAP + ME, recruiting individuals 45 to 75 years with moderate or severe OSA without marked sleepiness and with either established cardiovascular disease… (More)

Study Objectives
The long-term effect of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with high cardiovascular disease risk and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) without severe sleepiness is uncertain. We aimed to determine the effect of CPAP treatment on HRQOL in individuals with moderate or severe OSA and… (More)
